5. Water is essential to all of us! • Human health and socioeconomic welfare depends on supplying adequate quantity and quality of water. • Conversely, too much water results in socioeconomic damages and loss of life due to flooding.

16. Demand increases with population - even with our efforts at conservation U.S. public supply withdrawals (source: http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/wups.html)

17. Current Issues and Challenges • Rapidly growing population and scarce resources • Uncertain impacts of global climate change • Increased hydrologic, environmental, and economic constraints on developing additional water supplies

19. use of renewable water • sustainable groundwater use • susceptibility to drought • growth in water demand • future increased need for water storage http://www.nrdc.org/globalWarming/watersustainability/

21. Climate change affects the watershed (e.g. Sierra Nevada watershed) • Future projections indicate a strong likelihood of a warmer future climate in Sierra Nevada. • More winter precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow • Shorter seasons of snow accumulation at a given elevation; • Less snowpack accumulation as compared to the present

22. Percentage Remaining, Relative to 1961-1990Currently the Sierra Nevada provides over 65% of California's water supply Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, 2004

23. Current Issues and Challenges • Rapidly growing population and scarce resources • Uncertain impacts of global climate change; • Increased hydrologic, environmental, and economic constraints on developing additional water supplies

24. By 2025, more than 2.8 billion people will live in 48 countries facing water stress or water scarcity

25. The situation will continue to worsen

26. Urbanization – Impact on Water Resources • Transformation of undeveloped land into urban land (including transportation corridors) • Increased energy release (i.e. greenhouse gases, waste heat, heated surface runoff) • Increased demand on water supply (municipal and industrial)

27. Water Resources Sustainability The ability to use water in sufficient quantities and qualityfrom the local to the global scale to meet the needs of humans and ecosystems for the present and the future to sustain life, and to protect humans from the damages brought about bynatural and human-caused disasters that affect sustaining life. (Larry W. Mays, Water Resources Engineering, 2009)

28. A Measure of Water Sustainability • Water footprint Water required to sustain a population • Virtual Water Volume of water required to produce a commodity or service

29. Our Water Footprint Sufficient > 1700 m3 per year Water stress 1000 - 1700 m3 Scarcity 500 - 1000 m3 Extreme scarcity < 500 m3

30. Annual per capita water needs for foodto cover 2500 kcal a day 20% meat: theoretical 680 m3 actual 1200 - 1500 m3 Vegetarian: theoretical 250 m3 actual 500 - 1000 m3 From Zehnder et al. 2003

32. Contribution of different crops global water footprint (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2007) VWC = 1334m3/ton VWC = 2291m3/ton Question: Why are we growing rice in California?

33. Average National Water Footprint Per Capita (m3/capita/yr) Green = smaller than global average Red = above global average

34. High Water Footprint United States • Large meat consumption • High consumption of industrial products Iran • Low crop production yields • High evapotranspiration

35. From imported goods Water footprint of the US, 1997-2001 (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2007)

36. Global Transport of Virtual WaterThe U.S. is a net exporter From Yang et al. 2006

38. California’s Water-Energy Nexus • 70% of Precipitation in North • • 75% Demand in the South • • Water Demand: 43 maf • 9 maf Urban • 34 maf Agricultural • • Water-related Energy Use: • 19% of Electricity • 33% of Natural Gas • 88 billion gal diesel annually • • Population by 2030: • 48 million • • 2030 Water Demand: • 43-50 maf Krebs, Oct 2007 maf = million acre-feet

41. Supplying energy is water intensive Santa Clara Valley Water District, From Watts to Water, 2010 • Mining fuels • Refining fuels • Farming (for biofuels) • Transporting fuels • Cooling in power plants • Producing wind & solar devices

42. Water consumption varies with different fuels and cooling technologies Santa Clara Valley Water District, From Watts to Water, 2010

43. Role of Hydropower Hydroelectric power production is the most obvious use of water for the production of energy. The energy in falling water is used directly to turn turbines that generate electricity.

44. Components of Hydroelectric Plants Dam has two major functions of • creating the head (pressure) necessary to move the turbines and • impounding the storage used to maintain the necessary flow release pattern.

46. Electric Generator • An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor; motors and generators have many similarities. • The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy (all info from Wikipedia).

48. Energy relations in a typical hydroelectric plant Two types of turbines Impulse turbines (or Pelton Wheel), a free jet of water impinges on a revolving element of the machine that is exposed to the atmosphere (2) Reaction turbines, the flow takes place under pressure in a closed chamber
